“…This finding is of concern because it is well established that the advanced stage is strongly correlated with degree of invasion and probability of regional and systemic metastases suggesting a worse prognosis for these patients (16)(17)(18).…”

Objectives: To assess epidemiologic characteristics of penile cancer in Brazil. Materials and Methods: From May 2006 to June 2007, a questionnaire was distributed to all Brazilian urologists. Their patients' clinical and epidemiological data was analyzed (age, race, place of residence, history of sexually transmitted diseases, tobacco smoking, performance of circumcision, type of hospital service), as well as the time between the appearance of the symptoms and the diagnosis, the pathological characteristics of the tumor (histological type, degree, localization and size of lesion, stage of disease), the type of treatment performed and the present state of the patient. Results: 283 new cases of penile cancer in Brazil were recorded. The majority of these cases occurred in the north and northeast (53.02%) and southeast (45.54%) regions. The majority of patients (224, or 78.96%) were more than 46 years of age while only 21 patients (7.41%) were less than 35 years of age. Of the 283 patients presenting penile cancer, 171 (60.42%) had phimosis with the consequent impossibility to expose the glans. A prior medical history positive for HPV infection was reported in 18 of the 283 cases (6.36%). In 101 patients (35.68%) tobacco smoking was reported. The vast majority of the cases (n = 207; 73.14%) presented with tumors localized in the glans and prepuce. In 48 cases (16.96%) the tumor affected the glans, the prepuce and the corpus penis; in 28 cases (9.89%) the tumor affected the entire penis. The majority of the patients (n = 123; 75.26%) presented with T1 or T2; only 9 patients (3.18%) presented with T4 disease. Conclusion: Penile cancer is a very frequent pathology in Brazil, predominantly affecting low income, white, uncircumcised patients, living in the north and northeast regions of the country.

“…SNB was done in clinically node-negative patients and patients with tumour-negative aspiration cytology only (bilaterally in cN0 patients and in one groin in unilateral cN + patients). If one or more sentinel nodes were involved, the patient had a completion ipsilateral inguinal lymph node dissection, as described earlier [9]. The penile tumour was treated surgically [10].…”

“…2,6 In a series by Lont and colleagues, 5 25 of 102 patients (25%) with pathologically proven inguinal metastases were later proven to have pelvic node disease, and 4 of these patients (16%) achieved long-term disease-free survival. Risk factors for the presence of pelvic nodal disease in patients with inguinal node disease included more than 2 positive nodes, extracapsular extension of disease and presence of high-grade cancer in inguinal nodes.…”

“…Success in the management of penile cancer relies on the timely and appropriate management of the inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes. [1][2][3] This review aims to highlight the issues surrounding the management of the inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes in the setting of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis and to spotlight recently published information that adds credence to accepted management strategies or that approaches nodal disease in a novel or previously unexplored manner.…”

The management of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is often daunting given its rarity and subsequent lack of high-level evidence to support our decision-making. This culminates in the complex surgical issues involving the management of the regional lymph nodes, which is of critical importance to both quantity and quality of life for these patients. This review aims to highlight the decisive issues surrounding the management of the pelvic and inguinal lymph nodes in the setting of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, and to spotlight recently published information that adds credence to accepted management strategies of both the clinically positive and negative groin after successful management of the primary lesion.
